Introduction:
This wiki has been created to share a series of 2nd Grade Math Lessons with educators. The lessons that follow have been collaboratively developed by two elementary teachers and one Physics teacher. Each lesson was designed trying to integrate effective use of technology, differentiate for all learners regardless of thier ability, incorporate the Principles of Universal Design for Learning, and accomodate Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences. The goals and objectives of each lesson are from the Montgomery County Second Grade Math Curriculum and are summarized below. Each lesson and it's activities was created to be used with the technology, rules and resources of a typical Montgomery County Elementary School.
Statistics: Enduring Understanding 1:
Data displays organize information that can be easily analyzed.
Essential Questions
1) What are some ways data can be displayed to communicate information?
2) What questions can be answered from a graph?
Indicators:
1) Gather and organize data from surveys and classroom experiments
2) Organize and display data in more than one way.
3) Interpret data in more than one way.
Enduring Understanding 2:
Organization of information shows relationships
Essential Questions
1) What are some ways to organize data?
2) How can the elements of a graph help people to understand and to interpret data?
3) How does changing the scale affect how data is communicated?
Indicators
1) Gather and organize data from a variety of sources
2) Organize and display data using tables, pictographs, and bar graphs using appropriate scales (ex: one symbol equals 100 units.)
3) Interpret and compare data from tables, pictographs, and bar graphs.
Geometry
Enduring Understanding:
Geometric shapes can be classified by attributes
Essential Questions
1) What are the attributes of a shape?
2) What are the ways shapes can be sorted?
3) How are plane shapes different from solids?
4) What makes a shape symmetric?
Indicators
1) describe and classify plane and solid geometric shapes (circle, triangle, square, rectangle, sphere, pyramid, and rectangular prism) according to such attributes as the number and shape of faces, edges, and vertices.
2) make solid figures including cubes, rectangular prisms, spheres, cylinders, cones, and pyramids.
3) put shapes together and take them apart to form other shapes
4) identify and model symmetry with concrete materials and drawings.
5) identify the line of symmetry in figures and objects with symmetry.
Fractions
Enduring Understanding:
1) Fractions represent parts of a whole
Essential Questions
1) How are the numerator and the denominator related?
2) How can the fractional parts of a set be modeled?
Indicators
1) model common fractions
2) Read and write numerals including those that represent common fractions
